Hello, does anyone know a good place to purchase Trichosanthes cucumerina seeds, that is seeds for what are called snake gourds or snake beans,and seeds for the little round luffa, also sometimes known as wild luffa? Or seeds for long luffa? We did get some of the Trichosanthes cucumerina from Baker Creek but the germination was very low and now they are out of them in any case. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to hear that since I bought some from them this year too. Will be growing soon so I'll let you know how germ goes.

Burgess Seed & Plant has Luffa cylindrica (Luffa Sponge) seeds available on their website at https://www.eburgess.com/6835-luffa-sponge . I have some seeds here and they resemble watermelon seeds. Is that what you are looking for?

All the best, Vimes!

The seeds are similar, yes, so thank you, I think so.

Thanks, I checked the site, their seeds are for large luffas, it appears. We are looking for the tiny round luffas.
